Also, keep in mind that while many bicycle lights claim to offer 10 or more hours of service this is NOT a promise that your light at 8 hours will be as bright as it was when you put fresh batteries into the unit.
Periodically check your lights to ensure they are at peak efficiency. If they're getting weak, replace the battery. That's a small expense for a big return in added safety.

Thanks so much for your careful review of various bicycling gear. I am considering buying a Trek Valencia, but don't have a good shop in town (I don't trust them all that much). Your blog says you ride a 17.5" ... may I ask how tall you are?
Thanks!
By the way, I am a little under 5'10", and my pant inseam is a 30. I am waffling between the 17.5" and the 20".
dude you gotta chek this out: http://www.rockthebike.com/down-low-glow
... if you havnt alredy
@Matt: im 5'6 and i have a 50 cm trek 1.2 and a 38cm 7100 hybrid, im not sure how that would translate into your your calculations but i thought it might help as they both are a perfect fit for me...
Matt,
I am about 5'8" and the 17.5" seems ideal (even if it may be just a teeny bit on the big side - I have clearance over the top tube but just by a hair).
Phillip,
Wow - the down-low glow looks pretty wild! Thanks for sharing!
